 1. Yoga Mudras Introduction
& Science

Yoga Mudras at a Glance

“Mudras” are nothing but systematic hand gestures according
to Eastern philosophies, culture and Yogic practices. In
Sanskrit, Mudras means a posture/pose. Mudra is a Sanskrit
word, where ‘mud’ is joy and ‘ra’ is create. It means a gesture
which creates joy and cheerfulness. Mudras are looks as
closed electrical circuits which can pass energy thought out
the bodies. Mudra is in the Hatha yoga, which is one of the
parts of Yogas.
In other term, Mudras are an unspoken mode of
communication and self-expression consisting of hand
gestures and finger postures. It is an external expression
of inner determination, suggesting that such unspoken
communications are more powerful than the spoken word.
Mudras symbolically express inner feelings and inner
psychological states. Mudras are capable of giving great
powers and intellectual abilities called “Siddhies” on their
practitioners.
Mudras are considered a mysterious science. However,
mudras are not only give freshness to the health but also
provides spiritual gains to the human soul; there are mudras
which equally give marvellous value in therapy.

Creation/Invention of Yoga Mudras

Nobody knows that where and how mudras originated. They
have been in use from centuries. They have been found in
almost all regions and used by people of all religions. They
are natural to the body in daily routine. All that was required
was to identify them and scientifically understand the same.
¾¾In the Orient these can be observed as cultural
traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism in India,
Tibet, China, Japan etc. The paintings in the caves
of Ajanta and monuments in the Ellora caves, dating
back to 1st and 2nd centuries shows many mudras.
Yoga Mudras as Spiritually around the World
Hinduism shows the earliest recorded knowledge and
analysis of Mudras. The earliest documentations are found
in “Mantra Shastra” (the book of chants), “Upasana Shastra”
(the book of worship and prayers) and the “Nritya Shastra”
(the book of classical dances). The following section from
Srimad Bhagwad Gita mentions that Lord Krishna was in
the posture of Gyan Mudra when he gave the knowledge of
Gita to Arjuna.
“Prapannapaarijaataaya totravetre paanaye,
gyaan mudraaya Krishnaaya geetaamritaa duhe namah”
¾¾Swami Mahavir Jain in Jainism and Guru Nanak
Devji in Sikkhism are always shown in Gyan or
Dhyan Mudra.
¾¾Egyptian symbols are a virtual pearl house of
mudras. The postures of their kings and queens even
as mummies show them holding mudras.
¾¾In Christian art Jesus, John the Baptist and Mother
Mary are shown in various different Mudras. Even
 KB Joshi | 3

today, the sign used by the priests of Catholic

Churches while blessing the devotees using
“Mahagyan Mudra.”
¾¾In Islam, the spiritual Rotary Dervishes used Hand
signs or Mudras for various rites and rituals. Roman
art is complete with mudras.
Spiritual Science
Human being only has that supreme power in their soul,
while scientifically gifted by Yoga, can help them to achieve
all the three inspiring powers - the physical, mental and
spiritual. All that is needed is the supervision and the rules
of “Dhyana” (meditation) and “Sadhana” (Practice). There
are various supreme sciences for the study of humanity as
follows;
Different Vidhyas Related Science
Brahma Vidhya : Divine Science
Mudra Vidhya : Finger posture science
Kayakalpa Vidhya : Transformation science
Pranvinimaya Vidhya : Science for curing of sick and
defective
Surya Vidhya : Solar science
Punarjanma Vidhya : Rebirth science
Deerghayu Vidhya : Endurance science
Swar Vidhya : Science of sounds
Rasayan Vidhya : Transformation science
Mantra Vidhya : Spiritual chant science
Samyad Preshan Vidhya : Telepathy science
 
4 | Yoga Mudras

Mudra Science is an entirely different and independent

branch of yoga. This is the science of finger postures, based
on Yoga of elements. The sciences that can help raise the
human being to achieve almost divine powers and keep the
body perfectly right.
 2. Yoga Mudras Analysis &
Functionality

Mudras Analysis
Good Health is mostly defined as “A state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being without disease or
weakness.”
Mudras must be practiced sincerely as like yoga and
after gaining full knowledge of the same. If Mudras practice
wrongly or with partial knowledge, desirable result will not
be achieved. Everybody should know the basic principles
and understanding of Mudras. Like any Yoga, Mudras are
natural way of healing, as intended by nature. Mudras will
not give instant result like pills, while some Mudras do give
instant relief, for permanent and long term gains they should
be done with sincerity and confidence. Gains from all Yogic
procedures are permanent and achieved by natural working
of the body, mind or spirit.
The physical body is made up of five elements namely
- Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Sky (air - the tiny intercellular
spaces in the human body). Imbalance of these elements
interrupts the immunity system and causes disease.
Deficiencies in any of these elements can be made up by
connecting one part of the body with another in a particular
manner through Mudras.
 
6 | Yoga Mudras

When a finger representing an element is brought

into contact with the thumb, that element is brought into
balance. Therefore the disease caused by the imbalance is
cured. Mudras create electromagnetic currents within the
body which balance the various constituting elements and
restore health condition. The joining of fingers creates an
effect on the human body.
Five fingers and related five elements;
1. Thumb - Fire
2. Index figure - Air / wind
3. Middle figure - Sky / space
4. Ring figure - Earth
5. Little figure - Water

Mudras Functionality
The fingertips of every
living being have many
focused spirit root
endings which are free
energy release points.
According to Science,
around every tip there
is a concentration of
free electrons as like
around protons. By
touching together
fingertips or the finger
tips to other parts of the palms this free energy known as
“Prana” is redirected back into the body through specified
channels and back up to the brain.
 KB Joshi | 7

This energy travels through the various nerves, which

can open the various chakras. Keeping the hands on the
knees stimulates the Gupta vein and makes the energy start
from the “Mooladhara Chakra.”
Thus, the pressure applied on the nerve and the psycho-
neural routes formed by the mudras to help in balancing
the five basic elements. This balancing of the elements and
redirection of the internal energy which effects the changes
in veins, ligaments and physical organs that brings the body
back to a healthy state.
Different Mudras provide a different ‘end strain’ on the
nerves system by different fold of fingers. The advantage of
Mudras is that the pressure to be applied on the nerves is
automatic and controlled by the shape and size of the fingers
and not by external agencies.
Mudra Yoga is also a science based on the principles of
the Indian Medical Science (Ayurveda) which lays down
three factors primarily responsible for the body’s ills, Vata
(wind), Pitta (bile) and Kapha (Phlegm).
10 types of Vayus (Winds) circulate through the nerves
of the human body and can be controlled with Mudras.
Some of the main ‘Vayus’ (Main Winds) are as follows;
Different Types Related Concentrated Body Parts
Pran Vayu : Mouth, Central nose, Central Navel,
Heart
Apan Vayu : Regenerative organs, Knees, Sides
Stomach
Vyan Vayu : Eyes, Ears, Shoulders, Ankles, Throat
Udan Vayu : Hands and Feet
Saman Vayu : Contributes other vayus
 
8 | Yoga Mudras

The rules to keep these Vayus in good order are known as

“Panchmukhi Pranopasana” and use the Mudras to achieve
their end levels.
Mudras produce potential power to the body. Mudras
help to link between brain and body. However, the
effectiveness of the Mudras not only depend on the practices,
but it is also depends on eating habit, diet, life style of a
person etc.
Yoga mudras should be practiced with using both hands
together, which creates loop and closed entity. Usually
5~45 minutes required to do practice every day by using
appropriate mudras, with proper finger pressure and touch
including sitting position and breathing.
Those who are beginner in this field must first have to
choose peaceful place where there is no any kind of noisy
disturbance and mind can be concentrated on breathing
system.
Why are Mudras Required for Human Body?
1. It can be used to release our pain and discomfort.
2. To make body in a smooth harmonic condition
where energy can be passed throughout the body
and provide positive force to our soul.
3. For removing tiredness of body and stressed
condition of mind, mudras will facilitate the sound
sleep and cool mind-set.
4. Increase mental level with positive attitude. Increase
self-esteem and encourage positive thinking.
5. Increase concentration while doing meditation along
with mudras.
6. It will control the mental, spiritual, emotional and
physical level of a person.
 KB Joshi | 9

Mudras are specific hand gestures that help to connect

and convert it in to different energies that are present in the
various Chakras. Performing the different Mudras helps to
regulate the pathways though which Prana or the life force
flows throughout the body.
This kind of potential energies will produce and it
gives the proper nutrition to related body parts as well as
mind and soul also. This invisible energy will work as like
electromagnetic waves. In short, Yoga Mudras, body organs,
Spirituality, positive mind status, different body chakras all
are connected with each other and generate potential power.
 3. Yoga Mudras – Science &
Spiritual Power

Yoga Mudras as a “Scientific Spiritual Power”

By the knowledge of five fingers of human hand, Tatva Yoga
Mudra can be done as an independent yoga.
Mudra is a very exact and scientific yogic meaning
by which one can develop or even change, one’s internal
or external dispositions viz. mental (anger, emotional
disturbance, intelligence etc.), spiritual (concentration,
meditation) or physical (in various diseases, illnesses).
Mudras can bring amazing changes in mental level,
spirituality, body and improvements for human beings.
Mudras can help in speedily balancing the elements of the
body.
Mudras will affect changes in veins, tendons, glands,
sense organs, etc.
Mudras need not requires any prior preparation. They
can be done at anytime, anywhere and under practically any
conditions, except some of the mudras.
Mudras are like accurate remote control switches
bringing fast and effective changes. It helps to bring actual
permanent changes. A constant practice of Mudras can stop
or slow down the destructive changes in the human body.
 KB Joshi | 11

It can help develop a good, socially friendly, non-violent,

religious and well-mannered character.
Some Mudras can balance the elements of the body
within 45 minutes; some react within a few seconds in the
human body.
The ancients believed that there were 24 diagnostic
elements, the Gayathri mantra has 24 words, the Jains have
24 Tirthankaras, and Sanatana Dharma has 24 avatars. The
24 words of the Gayathri Mantra have a special relationship
with 24 mudras known as GAYATRI MUDRAS. They have
different names and formations. Majority main Mudras have
been covered in this book.
Mudras awaken the cosmic energy and help to bond
between the aatma (soul) and the Paramatma (the cosmic
soul).
 4. Yoga Mudra’s General
Guidelines

Yoga Mudras will develop the energy in the body; it is

always beneficial if we provide continuous and concentrated
breathing within hand mudras practice. “Sukhasan,”
“Padmasan” or “Vajrashan” sitting is the best for getting
potential result of doing Yoga Mudras. Take deep rhythmic
breathe, if possible do any spiritual mantra chant or can
chant of mantra “So-hum” means ‘ॐ’.
Inhale and exhale for same duration and rhythmic flow.
This process should be progressively increased. For example,
if 30 minutes of meditation then break it in 10 minutes of
different progressive speed of chanting or inhaling. First 10
minutes (slow speed), then 10 minutes (medium speed) and
last 10 minutes (fast speed). Breathing exercise will increase
freshness of mind and relaxing body.
We can also chant the mantra sound “So-hum.” Chant
“so,” when inhale and “hum” on exhale.
At primary stage there will be some difficulties like
sitting in “Padmasan” or “Vajrashan,” rhythmic breathing or
chanting mantra. But it will be habitual after some times.
During this rhythmic process, one should focus the
mind on heart beats and concentrate eyes at the “Gyan
Chakra” or center between eyes.
